Profile of Betelgeuse
Betelgeuse was discovered in The Classical World by The Classical Astronomer Ptolemy who described it's color as reddish or of ruddiness. While being a rather large star, Betelgeuse is cool compared to other stars of it's enormous stature. The formation of Betelgeuse is speculated to be from a runaway star of the Orion OB1 Association. This would have been a multistar system which would explain the mass that Betelgeuse possesses.
